CISSP Endorsement Wait

fuka — Wed, 08 Jan 2020 02:20:23 GMT

It has been over 6 weeks since my endorsement was submitted.

How long does it take usually to finish this process?

I'm also waiting for 6 weeks. 😞

My CCSP took right around 7-8 weeks. If you do not hear anything after 8 weeks, get up with member support.

(If you think this is bad, back in the day, we had to wait 1-2 months to get the pass/fail status of our test! )

I received the approval email today and that it right at the 7 week mark. A number of people on CISSP's subreddit have been reporting about a 7 week wait as well. So hopefully you don't have too much longer!

Ah, yes, back in the day when you got the notification by snail mail. I remember,
back then, being told that, if you failed, the mail came addressed to Robert Slade;
but, if you passed, it came addressed to Robert Slade, CISSP. Well, mine came
addressed just to Robert Slade, and I felt sort of crushed, until I realized that the
package was *way* too big just to contain a rejection letter. So I open it up, and
it's my cert, framed. (Cheaply, but framed.)

Another myth destroyed.

When I was doing the seminars, and they had switched to email notification, my
candidates were telling me that notification was usually less then a week, and
sometimes as little as two days ...

I remember when my email from ISC2 came. I saw the notification pop-up and then debated if I should open it then (at 10:00 in the morning) or wait until I got off that day at 4:30. If it is bad news then that would mean I would have to sulk around the office being sad all day. If I had passed then I could be jubilant the rest of the day. I took about 5 minutes of hemming and hawing deciding if I should open it or wait. Finally I said "Who am I kidding? I want to know!"

So I opened up the email.

Slowly I scrolled down.....

Someone told me, "If you see a score, that's bad. They will tell you your score if you fail so you can see how close or how far you were. If you pass they don't tell you your score."

I was sweating and hoping not to see a score.

Finally I saw these words....

"Congratulations, "

I jumped up out of my chair with so much excitement that I kicked over a trash can under my desk and people came running to see if everything was alright, it was so loud.

When I took the CCSP last year I knew when I walked around to the test proctors desk and he handed me a single sheet of paper that I passed. Well I assumed I passed. I figured if I would have failed they would have told me the areas I needed to work on, and surely that would have been more than a page's worth. I flipped the paper over and read the Congratulations message.

Application approved a few hours ago. So about 7 weeks from endorsement.

I submitted my application on Nov 19th 2019.
So 7 weeks and 4 days passed.

Why would it be addressed to you as CISSP if you haven't paid your AMF yet? 😛

Ah, the youth of today. Nobody pays any attention to how it was in times past.

(Anybody want to explain retroactive AMFs to him?)

Finally, my application is approved.

Thank you for your advice.

In my case, I submitted some additional information, my employment contract and etc.

Despite those are written in Japanese, processing was done without problems with isc2 supports.

And of course paid my AMF after above processing.
